TUCSON, Ariz. -- The University of Arizona is among 200 colleges and universities named as 'Best Value'

For the fourth time in a five year span, UA has been featured in the 2019 edition of "The Best Value Colleges" which chooses schools based on return-on-investment ratings.

"As a student-centric university, we strive to create an atmosphere in which past, current and future Wildcats feel a tremendous sense of value in their educational opportunities," said UA President Robert C. Robbins. "Student success is at the core of the UA's new strategic plan, and we take immense pride in the fact that a degree from the University of Arizona is well worth the investment."

UA students surveyed by The Princeton Review said they have "a lot of pride" in their school, with most academic departments seeking to "foster student growth." According to PayScale.com
